Philosophy:
My approach is simple. I treat the patient just like I would want my own family member treated. It begins with listening, understanding their needs, and delivering to them quality, evidence-based care. These days, quality can be measured and this is why I take pride that my colonoscopy adenoma detection rate far exceeds national society guidelines--39% overall.
